Course Objectives: After completion of the course,
the student will demonstrate the following:

an understanding of standard vocabulary and symbols associated
with trigonometry and calculus;

a better understanding of fundamental concepts in trignometry,
including angle measure (degree and radian), trig ratios, identities,
Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, solving triangles, and graphing trigonometric
functions;

a better understanding of fundamental concepts in calculus,
including limits, continuity, derivatives and their applications; and

an understanding of the scope and sequence of the P-12 mathematics
curriculum.

Note: The
"W" following the course section number signifies that this course is a
Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) course. WAC is based on the premise
that students learn most effectively and thoroughly about a subject through
writing about it. Thus WAC encourages writing intensive courses
in all disciplines ranging from philosophy to physics. WAC accepts
as a guiding principle the idea that writing is a valuable tool for learning
and communication. Therefore, the writing components of a course so designated
are designed to help you learn the material and communicate what you have
learned. Through various methods of integrating writing as a tool
for both learning and communication, the student will be better able to
succeed both academically as well as professionally.
Texts:

Note: Assignments, projects, etc. that are not turned in by the
assigned due date will be assessed a late penalty.

Attendance Policy: Students are expected to attend
all classes. This term a student may withdraw with a grade of W through
October 9th, regardless of grades, absences, etc. This deadline has been
established by the University. After this deadline, if a student has accumulated
more than four absences throughout the semester, he/she will normally receive
a grade of WF. (A grade of WF counts as an F.) The four absences should
be saved for sickness and other emergencies. Late arrivals and early
exits count one-half of an absence. If a student is absent for a test
and has an excuse from someone in authority, then the student will be expected
to complete a make-up exam within one week of the original test date.
Students who maintain a perfect attendance record (i.e. no excused or unexcused
absences) will have 5 points added to their Total Points at the end of
the semester.

Suggested Problems: For each section covered in class there
will be a set of problems provided. These are not homework problems
in the sense that they will be taken up and graded. Instead, these
are problems that are recommended for you to work in order to be successful
in the class. If you have questions concerning the suggested
problems, you should address these questions to the instructor during
office hours, before or after class, or during the review session prior
to the test.

Conferences: Conferences can be beneficial and are
encouraged. All conferences should occur during the instructor's office
hours, whenever possible. If these hours conflict with a student's schedule,
then appointments should be made. The conference time is not to be used
for duplication of lectures that were missed; it is the student's responsibility
to obtain and review lecture notes before consulting with the instructor.
The instructor is very concerned about the student's achievement and well-being
and encourages anyone having difficulties with the course to come by the
office for extra help. Grades will be based on coursework, not on Hope Grant
needs, GPA, or any other factors outside the realm of coursework.
